About the Course

• Location: A hidden redwood forest lies in the hills just a few miles over the ridge from downtown Oakland.
• History: The forest’s peaceful groves give little evidence of the park’s bustling past – in the mid-1800s the area was the scene of extensive logging to supply building materials for the San Francisco Bay Area.
• Current Landscape: The logging era has long since passed, and a stately forest of 150-foot coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) has replaced those cut down.
• Ecological Diversity: In addition to a great forest of coast redwoods, the park’s 1,830 acres also contain other evergreens, chaparral, and grasslands.

Wildlife

• Rare Species: Wildlife within the park includes rare species such as the golden eagle and Alameda striped racer.
• Common Sightings: Deer, raccoons, rabbits, and squirrels are often seen.
